The U.S. Navy has resumed escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz under a renewed “Project Freedom” mission. A Greek supertanker carrying two million barrels of crude was recently guided through the route after being stranded in the Gulf since March. The Navy is expected to assist about a dozen more vessels, including tankers and container ships, in the coming days. Source: WSJ
